Dolphins schedule pre-draft visits with two wide receiver prospects

Could a late-round receiver emerge as Miami’s third option before the 2024 season ends?

The Miami Dolphins are turning their attention to draft prospects after general manager Chris Grier shared on Tuesday that there’s been no progress in convincing Odell Beckham Jr. to sign in South Florida.

Miami plans to meet with Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, and Tenessee’s RaMel Keyton, which the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson first reported.

McMillian’s junior year featured 45 receptions for 559 yards and five touchdowns. He averaged four receptions per game and even completed one of two pass attempts. A member of the Athlon preseason All-American Second Team, McMillan is busy this week visiting with six different teams. Additionally, Garafolo reported that he privately worked out with the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings.

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler projects McMillan to go around pick No. 120. NFL Network draft analyst Lance Zierlein views him as a slot receiver with good size and production but also mentioned that “focus and catch strength let him down on contested throws.”

Turning our attention to Keyton — he shined with 35 receptions for 642 yards and six touchdowns last year — highlighted by a monster 122-yard and two-touchdown performance against Vanderbilt in late November. He played in 55 games while at Tenessee and averaged 17 yards per reception with 11 total touchdowns.

While Brugler didn’t project Keyton to be drafted, he could still emerge as a late-round option, especially with Miami holding two sixth-round picks and a seventh-round selection.
